VIDEO: QAnon-promoting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene taunted Parkland survivor after massacre, called him ‘coward’ funded by George Soros
As controversial Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene battled claims Wednesday she endorsed crackpot QAnon conspiracy theories and the executions of top Democrats, video of her taunting a Parkland massacre survivor reemerged and went viral.
The video was originally posted on Greene’s YouTube channel more than a year ago, before she won the seat for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District in November.
It shows Greene loudly harassing shooting survivor David Hogg as she pursued him down a street in Washington, accusing him of “using kids” in what she called an “attack” on her gun rights.
“Why do you use kids? Why kids?” she demanded as the teen activist calmly ignored her and kept walking.
After surviving gun violence this is just 1/10 of 1% of the harassment advocates for gun control have to deal with.

“He’s a coward,” she said after turning to the camera and spouting the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory that liberal billionaire George Soros paid teenagers to mobilize for stricter gun laws.
Hogg and other Parkland activists reposted the video Wednesday amid ongoing revelations about Greene’s political history.
“For the 8 millionth time…Could someone PLEASE tell me where the ‘millions’ I’ve been ‘paid’ by Soros is?” Hogg asked in a series of tweets calling out Greene.
Hogg, one of the survivors of the mass shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in February 2018, said he could really use the alleged money to help pay for college, possible law school, a house for his parents and lifelong therapy.
“After surviving gun violence this is just 1/10 of 1% of the harassment advocates for gun control have to deal with,” Hogg said in a separate tweet.
Greene dug in Wednesday night while speaking to constituents at a town hall in Dalton, Ga.
She railed against the “fake news media” and “radical left” for cherry picking posts that she said unfairly painted her as a “monster.”
“I’m not a perfect person. I’ve done things wrong and said things wrong,” she admitted before doubling down and vowing to keep “plugging away” on her petition to impeach Pelosi for “crimes of treason.”
“We can resist and we have to,” she said. “You’ll see me resisting every single day.”
Greene’s Twitter account was suspended in the aftermath of the deadly Capitol siege this month as she continued to question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.
On Tuesday, CNN reported that Greene’s Facebook account previously “liked” a comment that suggested “a bullet to the head” would be the quickest way to remove Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from her role as House speaker.
Greene also reportedly voiced support for a Facebook user who suggested hanging former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off,” she reportedly wrote.
Greene blasted the CNN report as a “hit piece.”
Despite her claims otherwise, Greene’s alarming posts have been linked to the QAnon conspiracy cult that believes a secret war between good and evil was playing out behind closed doors during former President Donald Trump’s time in office, with Trump fighting to save humanity from “deep state” masterminds.
She previously claimed the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., was “an inside job.” Trump once called her a “rising star” of the Republican party.
